When the content of a course is critical, perhaps online courses work best. However, when learning people skills is critical, (as in teaching, leadership, etc.), being face to face (or at least visible to one another) is more important. I think the lines between online, distance, and traditional will continue to blur -- but I hope that we don't lose f2f completely.
online not best for people-centered work
